USD
A beginner-friendly kyusu with a sleek black color and a smooth texture.
Note: Each kyusu is completely handmade and varies slightly in size and volume.
High-quality Japanese tea deserves a high-quality kyusu.
We designed this kyusu in collaboration with a Tokoname-yaki artisan to be a wonderful first kyusu for newcomers to loose-leaf Japanese teas. Of course, experienced tea drinkers will also appreciate its reliable performance in everyday sessions.
The black clay used for this kyusu gives it a sleek appearance and a texture that feels soft to the touch. It is designed with a wide body, which allows you to easily add and remove tea leaves and gives the leaves plenty of room to expand while brewing.
It holds around 8 oz, a convenient size for preparing all types of Japanese tea, from refined gyokuro and sencha teas to aromatic bancha teas.
Tokoname is a small city in Aichi Prefecture with a pottery tradition that goes back to the 12th century. Tokoname-yaki kyusu are held in high esteem, since the clay in this area is lightweight, has good thermal properties, and feels soft to the touch.
Wide opening allows you to easily add leaves.
Fine ceramic filter built into the spout.
Tight-fitting lid doesn’t leak even when pouring fast.
Suitable for all types of Japanese tea.
Sleek black color highlights your tea leaves.
Comes in a minimalist gift box
